Baby Salmon Shower cake!

My friends daughter is having a baby and she had asked me to make the cake! After some brainstorming we decided to mix it up and use a fish colored like a salmon because her daughters last name is Salmon! She insisted on Happy Labor day against my wishes, but it was her cake! ( Everyone loved the creativity but could figure out the labor day thing!) We used a spray food color for the water effect and then used fondant which we colored with a food color gel.
My husband made the chocolates and my daughter in law finished it off with her touch of scales and coral! I used a scratch carrot cake and cream cheese frosting. The trick was to make the cake 2 days ahead of time and put it in the freezer to avoid crumbing. we then put it back in the freezer to stay fresh and for easier transport (one hour away)!
